1986 Mercedes-Benz W124 SEl review from Australia and New Zealand
"The car I always wanted to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sun roof jams on closing.
General comments?
The 420 SEL is luxurious and quiet with lots of power from the V8 engine, excellent ride and road handling.
I love the shape and finish of the car.
